Biography
I was born in North Wales, but left to study for my BA at the University of Exeter. Here I fell in love with Victorian studies and stayed on to do my MA with Angelique Richardson. My first career was in politics and the civil service - I worked for the Training and Development Agency for Schools for four years. After this I returned to academia, studying for my PhD with Nadia Valman at Queen Mary, University of London. I now teach modules on London and Victorian literature and culture at Queen Mary as a Teaching Associate, and enjoy living in London with my husband and two small children. I'm thrilled that my first monograph, Women's Writing and Mission in the Nineteenth Century: Jane Eyre's Missionary Sisters has now been published.Education
